Riverdale One Shots and Preferences

How You Start Dating//Preference #2

Betty Cooper: A few years after you, Archie, and Betty formed your unbreakable bond, you realized that you were falling head over heels for the blonde haired girl next door. The problem, was that she was crazy over Archie. He was hanging out at your house with you, and the two of you were talking about Betty.

"Why do you have to be so irresistible dude?" You asked him, groaning.

"I didn't even know I was irresistible!" He exclaimed.

You chuckled at him staring at the house across from you.

"You should just march over there and tell her. Woman up. Tell her that you like her." He suddenly said.

"I can't do that." You replied.

"Why?" He asked.

"What if she hates me?" You looked at him.

"She won't. Because I wouldn't hate her if she was crushing on me. Or you wouldn't hate her if she was crushing on you. We're friends and nothing changes that. Plus you never know, she might like you back." He told you.

You looked back at her house, seeing her enter her room and flop onto her bed. Her mom had been giving her hell about joining the cheer squad and Betty had just gotten home from practice. 

"Okay. I'm going over there." You told him.

He followed you out the door and opted to hide behind a car to see how it went for you.

You knocked on the Cooper door, and Alice pulled the door open.

"Oh, hello Y/N. Are you here to see Elizabeth?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am. I just needed to talk to her real quick. Think you could ask her to come down here?" You smiled at her.

Alice nodded and went to the staircase and told Betty to come downstairs. Once Betty makes it down the stairs, her eyes travel over to the open door and she sees you. She smiles widely and comes over. 

"Hey you. What's up?" She asked.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." You said.

She nodded and closed her front door, leaning against it as she looked at you.

"Betty, um... Oh Christ, here goes nothing. I like you." You stated, avoiding her eyes. 

Silence followed and you began apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. Archie told me that I should tell you and I shouldn't have listened to-" 

"Y/N." Betty said firmly.

"Yes?" You squeaked.

"Shut up. And kiss me." She breathed out.

You looked at her in shock before stepping closer to her. You cupped her cheek with one hand while the other traveled to her hip. You leaned down to kiss her, and felt your heart leap when she actually kissed you back. You heard Archie shout "I knew it!" And when you pull away from Betty, you see Alice watching to two of you through the window with a happy smile on her face. 

Cheryl Blossom: When you and Cheryl became best friends, people assumed you were already dating. You would be a power couple. Cheryl being the queen bee of Riverdale High, and you being the resident badass ex-Southside Serpent. People knew to stay out of both of your way. You, however, were not as badass as everyone assumed you were. You were actually quite soft. And so was Cheryl, once you worked past her tough exterior. You were still keeping your friendship a secret, as to keep your parents from freaking out on you guys. One night, the two of you had snuck out of your houses to spend more time together. You picked her up on your motorcycle and the two of you went to the edge of town. You were just sitting together, enjoying each other's company and looking up at the stars. Cheryl's head rested in the crook of your neck, and she sighed.

"This should feel wrong." She stated.

"Because we were taught to hate each other?" You inquired.

She nodded, looking up at you. 

"Well, I don't hate you, Cheryl Blossom. Not one bit." You smiled softly at her.

Her eyes searched yours before they traveled down to your lips. Before you could process what was happening, her lips were pressed against yours. You kissed her back, gentle and slow. One hand tangled in her fiery red hair while the other rested on her jawline, holding her close to you. You knew you'd never be able to get her red lipstick off of your lips, but you didn't really care at the moment. Once the two of you needed air, you pulled apart.

"Would you wanna go on a date sometime?" You chuckled.

"I would love to." She smiled, trying to hide the light blush on her cheeks. 

Veronica Lodge: You were obviously pining very hard for Veronica Lodge. And she was obviously enjoying it. The secret was that she was pining for you too. She was afraid to let you love her, after her bad experiences with relationships while in New York. She knew you weren't like anyone else she had ever known, but she was still scared. She walked into Pop's after school to see you sitting with Jughead and Betty. You were obviously telling them a story, but she smoothly slid into the seat next to you and slid her hand into yours almost as smoothly as she sat down. You flashed her a quick smile and squeezed her hand before continuing your story. Veronica was watching you intently, and very fondly. She loved the way you eyes lit up when you told a joke, when your eyebrows furrowed in confusion, how you bit your lip when you were thinking, and how you didn't care what anyone thought about you. Suddenly you felt a cold hand on your cheek, and your head was being turned to face Veronica as her lips landed on yours. You forgot the story you were telling and focused on the feeling of her lips on yours. After a few seconds, she pulls away from you and looks at Betty and Jughead who seem shocked at this interaction.

"Sorry for interrupting. I just needed to do that." She apologized. 

They nodded, still shocked.

"So Y/N. Me, you, the drive-in theater. Friday night." She said, pulling out her compact mirror and touching up her lipstick. 

You nodded, still dazed. She smiled at you and pressed a kiss to your cheek before getting up and leaving. The three of you watched her leave and you turned back to Betty and Jughead.

"What the hell just happened?" You asked.

"Looks to me like you got a date with Veronica Lodge." Betty smirked.

"Friday." Jughead added, trying to stifle his laughter at your stunned expression.
